A high-sensitivity sensor for measuring moisture content in the air or air humidity under low pressure was designed on the basis of a half-wave coaxial microwave cavity.The method of measuring small variations in the signal phase at a cavity excitation frequency of 1.63 GHz was applied to Bubblers detect low densities of water vapor.It allows the d
Autonomic correlations with MRI are abnormal in the brainstem vasomotor centre in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Autonomic changes are often associated with the chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), but their pathogenetic role is unclear and brain imaging investigations are lacking.The vasomotor centre and, through it, nuclei in the midbrain and hypothalamus play a key role in autonomic nervous system regulation Micro SD Card of steady state blood pressure (BP) and
Viral metagenomic investigation of two Caribbean echinoderms, Diadema antillarum (Echinoidea) and Holothuria floridana (Holothuria)
Background Echinoderms play crucial roles in coral reef ecosystems, where they are significant detritivores and herbivores.The phylum is widely known for its boom and bust cycles, driven by food availability, predation pressure and mass mortalities.Hence, surveillance of potential pathogens and associates of grossly normal specimens is important to
Nef-Mediated CD3-TCR Downmodulation Dampens Acute Inflammation and Promotes SIV Immune Evasion
Summary: The inability of Nef to downmodulate the CD3-T cell receptor (TCR) complex distinguishes HIV-1 from other primate lentiviruses and may contribute to its high virulence.However, the role of this Nef function in virus-mediated immune activation and pathogenicity remains speculative.Here, we selectively disrupted this Nef activity in SIVmac23
